Put your arms around me.

Scenes with Nod

1 scene

I don't know how much your mother told you about my work.

Um, she... Nothing. Just that you have a delusional belief in an advanced society of tiny people living in the woods. And it... Well, it ruined your career. Not to mention your marriage. [Bomba looks at her with a hurt expression] Or something.

Talking snails.

Mub
[referring to Grub]

Actually, he's a snail. I'm a slug. No shell over here, baby. It just slows me down.

Who are you people?

We are the Leafmen, protectors of the forest.

Nod
[Bufo's goons are beating up Nod after he goes back on a deal.]

Is that the best you got?

Goon
[punches Nod really hard]

How's that?

Nod
[weakly]

Better.

Bufo

Nod, you know I like you.

Nod

Yeah, I like you too, Mr. Bufo.

Bufo

And yet, you don't do what we agreed. We agreed that you would lose, but then you win.

Nod

Now, I can't help it if I'm fast. You want me to lose, you got to give me some better competition.

Bufo

It's called teamwork. Maybe if you understood that, the Leafmen wouldn't have kicked you out.

Nod

They did not kick me out! I quit!

Bufo
[chuckles]

I admire your independent spirit, Nod. I miss that. [to his goons] Feed him to something. A snake would be good.

[appears]

Nah, snakes just swallow you whole. Now if you put him in a hornet's nest, that's a show.

Bufo

Oh, look, it's Ronin, defender of the weak, pooper of parties, here to ruin the fun. [gestures for his goons to let Nod go]

I didn't ruin all of it. I let you hit him.

Nod
[annoyed]

Twice!

[to Bufo]

Hop along now, little froggie.

Bufo

Easy, Ronin. It's a big forest out there. Even Leafmen gotta sleep.

Bufo

Hey, if this is a bad time, I can come back when you're done gardening. [Mandrake's guard pokes him] Oh! Hey!

I imagine you're wondering why I invited you here.

Bufo

I was frog-marched here at spear point. [Mandrake's guard pokes him again] Ah! How is that "invited"?

[shrugs]

I let you keep your legs.

Bufo
[chuckles]

Comedy. Terrific. Funny psychopath.

There are rumors that the Leafman Ronin was at your place of business, and that he may have rescued a royal pod.

Bufo
[chuckles]

Real smooth. You got rid of the queen, but let her pod get away. [chuckles] Plus your idiot general gets himself mulched.

[angry]

That idiot general... [shouting] WAS MY SON!

Bufo
[He destroys a tree, frightening Bufo] [stuttering]

Uh, of course he was. He had your good looks, and your healthy grey complexion, and forgiving nature.

Shut up! What's it gonna be, Bufo? Are you gonna talk, or are you gonna croak? [Bufo whimpers] Where are they taking the pod?

Nod
[from trailer]

What happened? You got shrunk?

Nod

Seriously?

It's been a weird day for everybody.

[from trailer]

You just can't stop the rot.

Mub

Ugly says "What?"

What?

Mub

Nothing. [snickers along with Grub]

[M.K. and Nod have just escaped a Boggan attack]

What was that thing?!

Nod

What, you've never seen a Boggan? Someone had a happy childhood.

Dad? I had the most messed-up dream. There were talking slugs and tiny little soldiers and-- [gasps]

Grub

Hello!

Aw, man!

[After Mandrake captures Mub and Grub with the pod, Ronin blames Nod for letting them escape and he puts his foot down] [angrliy, pushing Nod into the wall]

Stay with the Pod, that's all you Have to do.

Nod

Yeah, but I just thought if..

Do you ever think about anyone besides yourself?! .

It wasn't all his fault!.

And You! I expected as much from him. But I thought you would know better.

Nod

We're really sorry, okay?. We just...

I don't want to hear it. That was the last part of the queen that I h----. That any of us will ever have. [walks away]

[At the Boggan headquarters, after Mub, Grub, and the pod have been kidnapped]

My son was born on a night like this. These were his baby fangs. And here's the first skin he ever molted. He was big for a larva. He took after his mother.

Mub
[whines]

Oh, your stories are boring and tortureous!

The Leafmen took him from me! So I took something of theirs. It's basic etiquette. An eye [pokes Grub's eye] for an eye. [pokes Mub's eye]

Mub

Jerk!

Your pod will bloom here. And when the pod blooms in darkness, it belongs to the darkness. I'll destroy the forest with the very thing you hoped would save it.

Grub
[Mub and Grub laugh]

I hate to break it to you, but it doesn't say that in the scrolls!

It does in the part I have. [shows the piece of scroll that he took from Nim's tree]

Mub and Grub

D'oh!

Nim Galuu

Let's see. Moonlight comes in here, moves along here, reaches the pod here. At the moon's highest peak, only time it can bloom.

Grub

Do you know what this means?

Mud

We single-handedly saved the forest! Eye five! Down low! Too slow!

Nod

So, when the pod opens, what happens to you?

I think I go home.

Nod

Well, I... I guess this is...

Yeah, I guess it is.

Grub

Mandrake's bats!

They're not attacking. They're just... blocking out the moon.

Nod
[from trailer] [referring to Bomba]

This guy's been crashing around the forest for years.

He's my dad!

You're kidding. [Nod laughs; Mary Katherine shoves him in frustration] You're not kidding.

[as she is being pulled away from Nod as she starts to grow]

What's happening?

Nim Galuu
[points to Tara's successor]

A queen brought you here... how about a queen send you back?

Flower Kid
[last lines, as she concentrates on using her new found powers]

Ummm... [gasps]... It's Working!
